DELRAY BEACH — A 20-year-old man was arrested near the corner of Northwest Fifth and Atlantic avenues late Tuesday after he was stopped by police.

Police said two officers approached a white Pontiac parked in a lot near the corner at about midnight Tuesday. Three men were sitting in the car. When police questioned the men, Alfredo Brinson of 501 Lake Ida Road, reached beneath his seat. Police stopped him and discovered a .30-caliber rifle under the passenger seat.

A search of the car revealed hotel keys from several hotels, including eight keys from the Best Western in Boca Raton. A package of syringes, a small hand gun and some jewelry also were found in the car.

Brinson was charged with carrying a concealed weapon. The other men were not charged.
